1/10th IC Euro B Finals

...For some it's an endurance event!
Simon Wood has made his way from the 1/128 final to the 1/4 final! He has traveled the furthest of all the racers - bumping up the finals system (by finishing in the top 3). He says he feels nervous and racing every 20 minutes is beginning to take it's toll, though he sure knows this track now! His ambition is to make it to lunch time! We'll see...
Also German Mirco Thalheimer who qualified 1 final higher in the 1/128 A final. He says after this week he now has a great wet car set up, which is a problem as during the finals there has been no rain. Also bad luck hampered him during qualification with plenty of small problems meaning he was unable to finish any of them.
...The 1/8 A final was to be be Mirco's last run out with a 4th place finish and a 1/4 final bump-up just out of his grasp. Despite this he's really happy with his performance, 'I managed to crack the 22 second lap and for me that was the main thing! Nerves really got to me in the race and I ended up on the grass a few times!'
Whilst other racers may have bumped up 1 or 2 finals before falling behind and packing their pitboxes for the drive home... no one has done more racing today than these two men!

1/4 finals next!
